I recall that online board bitch....and she called you out for posting some seriously sappy nonsense.

Too bad you didn't meet up with her...she's a riot  

As for having experienced any of this myself...all the time  LOL

when their sober/straight their fine. It's the AA (alcoholics anonymous) people that are 24/7 assholes.

and we had a pretty good thread on it:

because it massages their ego. many have low self-esteem issues, therefore, they have a need to put people down in order to bring them down to their low level.

I've been accused of hiring a private investigator on one of the providers. A huge lie, but it has been spread around so much that people who don't have a brain think it's true.

I've been accused of being a stalker by a provider whom has not even been on TER since early this year, but yet, folks continue to call me a stalker when they have ZERO proof of this.  

basically, in a nutshell, if someone posts a false statement about you, no matter how outrageous the lie is, people will believe the lie. you are left attempting to defend yourself against falsehoods and baseless allegations.

just watch... someone will mock, bash or flame my post. it's guaranteed.

and they say things on forums and in chat rooms that they wouldn't dare say to someone's face.

s an involuntary but self-educated member of this community, I expected a number of personal assaults when I posted my story the other day about turning to TER and other escort sites to uncover the truth about the woman I was engaged to, who became an escort during our time together without my knowledge.  

Yes, my story was onerously long. And by portraying myself as the dupe, as a fool for love, I anticipated a certain degree of take down. But the hostility my post was greeted with -- exclusively from the male side of the aisle -- was eye-opening.

Maybe it's because I was an outsider, a non-hobbyist, crashing the party. Maybe it's because my story, as tragic as it was, was also an admission that I had been exclusively intimate with one of the highest rated and most sought after escorts on this board.

But likely it's because the women who posted comments, providers all, were nearly unanimous in their support and words of kindness and encouragement.  

Which was counterintuitive. My story was an expose of the dirty deeds of a provider, of the deceit and selfishness of one of their own, a mirror held up for their own consideration of their deeds and motivations.

I guess they (you) got that. The guys, they just saw a vulnerable target and moved in for the kill. They called me a liar. Called me a pussy. Tore me down. As I responded to one troll: Like my daddy always told me, the best way to get ahead in this life is to tear another man down.

This forum has an amazing array of thoughtful, even passionate commentary, advice, observation and conviction. But is also infected with a viral strain of hostility and resentment that often threatens to obscure the unique and purely positive potential of a community bound together by their marginalized status in in mainstream society.

Without the vindictive and self-righteous trolls, this forum serves as an astoundingly free, open and nonthreatening window to a world that -- when exposed to the outside world -- articulates better than any advocate the true hearts of those engaged in the hobby.

It's just people. With desires. Needs unfulfilled. And consensual agreement to satisfy.

People here are kind, good-hearted and compassionate. Except those who are not. And they tear the whole house down with their self-loathing need to inflict pain on those they feel threatened by. Which comprises everyone who is not as miserable as they are.

Shit, if I got laid as much as you miserable fuckers, I would be one tap-dancing, rose-smelling, head-in-the-clouds beatific.  

So what makes you such trolls

My persona is one of a snobbish narcissist, very opinionated, somewhat misanthropic, living a sheltered life, and hypercritical politically and socially. Actually, I'm not at all like that.

I expect it's similar with most.

I have seen only gentlemanly and polite discourse here of a very high order.  Had there been even a hint of rudeness here I would have vociferously complained to management and relentlessly reported all offending posts until the rude posters  and their vile spewings were expunged from this site
